Reversible felt takeaway cup holder.
I felt I was wasting cardboard by using those takeaway cup holders so decided to make a sturdy one that was more 'me'. ^_^

Step 1Use a takeaway cup holder as a template for the foam base of the cosy.
-
Step 2Pin the foam template onto a sheet of felt and cut around, leaving about 2cm gap. Repeat a second time.
-
Step 3Draw a heart on paper and use as a template. Cut two hearts from the felt.
-
Step 4Pin the shapes in place- remember to 'reverse' the other side so both sides match.
-
Step 5Place the foam in between the two felts and pin the edges together, ready to sew.
-
Step 6Cut a hair band in half and sew it's ends together. Slide in between the felt/foam and stitch in.
-
Step 7Stitch around the entire piece using embroidery thread- this creates a nice complimentary chunky stitch look.
-
Step 8Wrap the cosy around a takeaway cup, marking a dot in the center of where the hair band loop falls. Sew a button onto this spot and repeat for the other side.
Thank you for sharing and do take care, too
